A Stream of Stretching Thoughts from a Full Brain
I ran into a friend last night at Hannah’s winter orchestra concert. He asked me how the blog was going. I explained it was a challenging month. My traffic has generally been rising the past several months. I’ve been very consistent in blogging daily during the week. But this month has been a little different. I’ve been extremely busy with work and family activities. I set out on at the beginning of the month intent on writing an advent post every day between December 1st and December 25th in addition to my normal blogging. I sometimes think I may have bitten off more than I could chew. My intention is right, but my schedule is swamped with things that have to be a priority.
I’m excited for the holidays. I’m hoping this will be an opportunity to recharge, refocus, and reclaim my schedule. I intend to use the next two weeks to recast my vision for 2014. I’m excited for what is coming my way.
I took the day off from work today, and it was great! I was able to sleep in a little bit, get a nice long run in, and spend the morning with my wife. This afternoon, I made chicken sausage and dealt with a couple of work related calls and e-mails. I picked up my daughter from track practice. And I’m enjoying a few minutes to myself this evening while Leanne makes cookies, Hannah works on homework, and Isaac practices ping-pong for our big match in a few minutes. It’s been a good day!
Sometimes writing is a stream of thoughts flowing from a mind full and a calendar crowded.
Today, I simply want to remind you to be joyful and to be thankful. Don’t forget to sign-up for the 90 Day Thank You Note Challenge! Click here for more details.
